I think Donna's voice couldn't handle volume very well and she was forced to sing in keys that weren't in her wheelhouse to accommodate Jerry and Bob. Big imho.

That!
And according to "legend", they messed with her monitor feed because they wanted Keith but had to accept Donna to get him in the band.

Oooh. Was she was the Linda McCartney of the Grateful Dead? Inquiring minds want to know. 😀

That is awesome. If you really want to torture yourself, find a Wings concert with Linda's vocals separated. My God.

I tried, but her facial expressions made me want to run. She was feeling it a little too much.

I worked with a lady who played that song on repeat repeat repeat...now it just causes my temples to pulsate and my stomach to turn. Kind of like drinking tequila does now, after a couple of over indulgences.

Re: last thing john said |
Ha--fair point; I had just rec'd it and all I could conclude was she defn has a good voice, period (as opposed to those described above folks were debating).
It came about via a discussion on Zulu folk music (I had no idea about the origin of the Token's hit).

I would have to say this goes down as the most informative, and civil, hijack in recent memory.

The NY Times told me to subscribe in order to read the story. In any case, in the mid-90's I saw the Tokens play at a local County Fair

Tokens were right up there with Pat Boone when it came to cultural appropriation.
